Irene

You’ve changed.
Love’s snare,
Almond-eyed Irene
Of polished hair
And flawless silken skin

You smoke
And coldly survey the scene
With sinful amber eyes
Which stay serene
And hypnotize me…

But I remember you,
Little Scarlet O’Hara,
Fresh from the sticks,
All smeared with mascara
And smudged with lipstick

As if a make-up artist,
Seized by a fit of rage,
Slapped on the paint
Before you went on stage…
You surely have changed.
